It's a good idea, but too severely limiting since almost all monitors 
now run on 19V. Thus far the HP 23es is fine. I ran RTTY with it next to 
KPA500 on several bands with no issues. Final test will be pointing the 
6m EME array at the shack and listening. The monitors look really good 
and were on sale at Best Buy for $119!
